    <directions>
      <step>   1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Have ungreased baking sheet(s) ready.
  
   2. Combine all ingredients, except sugar for coating, in large bowl of an
  electric mixer. Beat on low speed until combined. Refrigerate to firm dough
  slightly, about 20 minutes.
  
   3. Roll into large balls, using  1/4 cup dough each for large cookies or a
  scant tablespoon for smaller cookies (dough will be soft). Roll in
  additional  sugar to coat. Arrange on baking sheet, spacing them 3 inches
  apart.
  
    4. Bake until set, about 15 minutes for large cookies and 10 minutes for
  smaller ones. Cool on baking sheet 1 minute before transferring to wire
  rack  to cool.
